Re: Difference between "library parts" of C99 and "language parts" of C99

The latest draft of the C99 standard is available at
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf>.

Section 6 describes the language; section 7 describes the library.

(The term "language" can be ambiguous; it refers either to just the
part described in section 6, or to the entire language including
sections 6, 7, and all the rest.)
